May Day To
Be Project
Of Students
Chapel Meeting Lays
Plan For Celebration
On February 23. chapel was held
for the purpose of discussing the
possibility of a May Day program.
The discussion was opened by Mr.
Poland, sponsor of the Freshman
class. M~. P?land advised the Fresh­men
to consider carefully the pros
and cons of May Day before cas t~
Ing a vote. Mr. Poland stated that
those who voted against the pro­gram
would "be taking the Fresh- '
men out of their May Day dance."
Elizabeth Brown, who served on
various May Day committees last
year, spoke in behalf of. the festival.
Mis. Lois Roberts, physical educa­tion
director, stated that the Fresh­man
and Sophomore classes were
the ones who must participate in
the dancing. MI. s Roberts had
planned a dancing and sport sched­ule
for the physical educatlon cla3s­es,
which she thought would be
more preferable to the students than
a schedule confined to dancing.
"Why can't it be a student project?"
Miss Roberts asked. "There are
neveral students who are capable of
directing it. I can h elp in the selec­tion
of dances. I can see no reason
why the students can't do the thing
them .elves. present dan c e s you
yourselves can teach." Miss Roberts
stated that she . definitely did not
want the responsibility of the May
Day progl'am. Alice Newland .made
a motion that May Day should not
be entirely a student project. No
definite decision was made at this
time.
A t the chapel period on March 3,
Dorothy Thompson, president of the
student government, announced that
the student council bad met in the
rncant ime and had decided that the
students · .should cooperate to put on
the whole Ma.y Da.y festival. The
council hud also apPOinted various
committees to prepare for the May
Day presentation. Miss Thompson
stated that the whole school would
be represented and that each class
would have t wo l'epresentatives
elected to the court.
A box has been placed in the Ad­ministration
Building for the nom­inations
of May Queen. The per­Eons

Some of the staff members of the

Irene White, Mary Lee Williams,
Argina Miskinis, Pat Goyne, Sara
McCarty, Gin g e r Slocum, Grace
Quinto, and Dr. S. J. McCoy, spon­sor,
viSited the buildiilg of the News
Leader last Thursday afternoon.
The members were conducted on
an observation tour · to the press
room, the . news room, composing
room, and the mailing room by Mr.
Raymond Johnson of the Circula­tion
department. In the press room,
Mr. johnson explained it took a
whole year to install the presses,
piece by piece and that their tre­mendous
weight necessitated a fif­teen-
foot floor. It takes a fraction
of .a second to print one copy, and
65,000 papers are run through in an
hour.
In the news 'room or reporter's
basement the Atlas staff group met
the city editor, Dr. Douglas S. Free­man,
and several other editors of
the News Leader. The group also
observed a typical news room with
paper everywhere and typewriters
buzzing.
The center of inter.est in the news­paper
building was the composing
room. Here the group members had
their names set in lead and printed
and each received a half-inCh metal
plate of the Lord's prayer and an
imprint of the same on paper. Mr.
Johnson informed the staff that the
composing room united worked in
three eight-hour shifts. There was
rtlways a shift setting type and cut­ting
lead as long as news came in.
At one end of the large compos­ing
room was a furnace room where
the lead was heated, melted, and re­Ge
t. The same lead is used over and
over again and is comparatively in­Expensive
after the original cost has
been met.
La!:itly the Atlas group was taken
to the mailing room. Here the pack­age3
are tied together by an electri­('
al contraption and run out of the
l>uilding on an electric runway.
From this point the papers are eject­ed
into trucks of which there are
st!ven, constantly making deliveries
in TIichmond.

scheme. 2. Keep your five gar­ments
fairly simple and basic in
type. 3. Have bright colors sepa­rate
from the dress itself. 4. Have
jackets interchangeable.
Five garments are necessary in
this wardrobe~a coat, a suit, a
morning dress, an afternoon dress,
and an evening dress.
Edith Mann modeled first a gen­eral
daytime dress made of dusty
pink cheerio crepe and cut on sim­ple
lines. The accessories were
navy blue.
The second garment that Miss
Mann modeled was a royal blue
finger-tip coat, made with broad
shoulders and straight lines.
The paisley afternoon dress, pre­dominately
blue, was made with
the new petal shape neck. Kitty
O'Hara wore the dress.
Edith Mann modeled the slate
blue dressmaker type suit.
The fifth garment for the Vogue
Spring Wardrobe was the dusty
pink crepe evening gown that Peg­gy
Layman wore. The new bolero
jacket was of dark blue crepe. .
All accessories (including the coif­fures)
were furnished through the
courtesy of Miller and Rhoads.
After the fashion parade Mr.
William Wheary discusses the ma­terials
for the same wardrobe.
The fashion show was made pos­s
